As I realized recently, it has been quite some time since I have written a blog post. Quite frankly, life has been too busy. It sucks to say that, because blogging is a source of calm for me. Not having time to do the things that calm me if I want to obtain at least a few hours of sleep on a nightly basis is frustrating. It's difficult to unwind, but I have turned to one of my class tasks coupled with plenty of rap music to do so. I'm becoming the most miserable miler that a person could find out on a track at 6am, and am even learning the names of the regulars who come faithfully every morning and are already out walking when I am grumbling and dragging my lazy bones out of bed to begin my day far earlier than the average college student.
I am blessed that I have people in my life who are a text or phone call away that help to keep me sane. Jacob, Howard, Jacob, Bonnie, and so many others - you who best understand what I am going through while trying to pioneer a new path for future individuals who hold my current position on the Regional Board of Directors for MACURH have been nothing short of a blessing. It has been such an uphill battle not only to create some real structure for this position aside from points listed in policy, but to also ensure that I am completing all of its requirements and taking the time to prepare transitions of tasks as I go. I have loved every moment of getting to know the representatives from new schools and begin schools on their path to affiliation by assisting in the creation of Hall Councils and other residence hall governing organizations.
It is interesting to see the interactions between myself and my professors this semester. It seems strange to have such a simplistic semester in terms of classes, although there is a heavy level of memorization within the health sphere of things. My coaching practicum class does put a huge demand on my afternoons as I struggle to find times where I can attend practices or observe an athletic director. It's always interesting to explain why I am missing classes for conferences, and to see the varying levels of acceptance that professors have for me doing so.
I plan on posting a completely random blog to go along with my "Things that Just Shouldn't Happen!" type of posts very soon...I've been mulling on a new topic for a about a week now, and I believe I can finally begin to do it justice.
